US secretly created 'Cuban Twitter' to stir unrest

McSpedon didn't work for the CIA.
This was a program paid for and run by the U.S. Agency for International Development, best known for overseeing billions of dollars in U.S.
humanitarian aid.

Later when the network reached a critical mass of subscribers, perhaps hundreds of thousands, operators would introduce political content
aimed at inspiring Cubans to organize "smart mobs" — mass gatherings called at a moment's notice that might trigger a Cuban Spring, or, as one
USAID document put it, "renegotiate the balance of power between the state and society."

The program's legality is unclear: U.S. law requires that any covert action by a federal agency must have a presidential authorization.
Officials at USAID would not say who had approved the program or whether the White House was aware of it.

Once again, the U.S. Agency for International Development is responsible for undermining a sovereign government.
U.S. AID was responsible for instigating the Arab Spring, which has led to an estimated 180,000 thousand (and counting) deaths, billions and billions
of dollars wasted, and unspeakable human suffering. Arab Spring

it is interesting it show up in media now; maybe has to do something with fall of US?

glorious works of democracy.

Documents show the U.S. government planned to build a subscriber base through “non-controversial content”: news messages on soccer, music, and
hurricane updates. Later when the network reached a critical mass of subscribers, perhaps hundreds of thousands, operators would introduce political
content aimed at inspiring Cubans to organize “smart mobs” — mass gatherings called at a moment’s notice that might trigger a Cuban Spring

"There will be absolutely no mention of United States government involvement," according to a 2010 memo from Mobile Accord Inc., one of the
project's creators. "This is absolutely crucial for the long-term success of the service and to ensure the success of the Mission."

The documents obtained by the Associated Press state the project was led by Joe McSpedon, a US government official, who attracted a team of high-tech
wizards from around the globe to set up a site that could reach hundreds of thousands of Cubans.

The unrest and discontent is already providing a means for people to communicate with others only allows for organization. After the Soviet collapse
in 1991 unrest in Cuba was very high, had they had something like twitter back then the protest movement that had begun may have been able to
overthrow the government. Unfortunately for the Cubans, the government was able to imprison and disappear the most vocal individuals in that movement.

I understand that, and I am no supporter of Communist Dictatorships, however I struggle to believe this was done solely to give voiceless, oppressed
Cuban folk a voice.

That boat left in the 60's when the USA placed economy crippling embargo on Cuba

come on, people don't even remember what happened 10 - 20 years ago in their own countries, with some mild propaganda and an imminent threat of
pointed stick armored foreign mercenary brigades people will believe almost anything.

what I'm trying to say is that the more time pass from specific event it is easier to cover up the truth.

So this is perfectly acceptable, yet sanctions are being put down against Russia for going into Crimea? How do the U.S. get to play high and mighty
against the rest of the world when they spend so much time doing things which are equally as bad, if not worse? Slightly hypocritical.

Worse than hypocritical, really.
If communism is bad (which I believe to be true) then let it fail by it's own merits, or lack of.
When others use subterfuge to discredit, an argument can be made that the reason for failure was the meddling of others, not the fact it was a bad
idea to begin with.

Lol really? You do know that there are democratic elections down there, right? The elections usually result in over 80% of popular support to
maintain the current system which has always maintained, constitutionally, guaranteed food, free healthcare, free education in any field, a guaranteed
job, etc etc. you know, all those things that many Americans wish they had.

Anyways...

Here's a first-hand account by a Cuban academic, and double-agent, on how CIA agents flip people in Latin America in order to push for a manufactured
cause conducted by US state officials. He states that US aid is specifically used to fund CIA activities and embassies are CIA fronts.

Twitter turned evil about six months ago and if you sent more than a couple of tweets putting Google down about all it's spyware then you
might notice after a few days that few if anyone is talking to you and if you open another account and check then you will see that most of your
tweeets are not being sent out.

In the case of Google it's mutal censorship and both agree to do hide any bad press but once you have thrown Youtube in as well then you are left
with a monopoly that decides what you can and cannot read without really looking.

According to Twitter half the world web-sites now have a virus on them or are sending out spam so don't try to embed a link to a none controlled
sourse.

Not only that but I think Twitter now makes it's money not from adverts but by taking fees to protect corporations from any bad PR.

I have tested this theory and cannot give you full details but I picked on Corporation "A" using one of the many twitter accounts I have and said
anything I wanted without being blocked and then did the same with Corporation "B" using more or less the same words and was blocked in no time.

Twitter is a tool for the NWO and if they want you to think that everyone is on side "A" when most people are on side "B" then that is just what
they do, it's not rocket science they just hide tweets from everyone except you or maybe known friends.

America's stance and treatment of Cuba is truly a scandal.
It's 2014 and US citizens cannot fly from the US to Cuba, travel bans and there are still sanctions.
With all of the real issues and terrorists and rogue states in the world, America still regards Cuba as a threat and an enemy and actively go out of
its way to disrupt, harm and impoverish the citizens and keep tabs on their political views.

America is the single biggest threat to world peace on the planet and the most paranoid, snooping nation too.
